A Lady’s Knight by Meagan Spooner and Amie Kaufman was pure magic from start to finish. I fell in love with this book immediately, and I’m so glad I experienced it as an audiobook. The narration was phenomenal and it gave the story such energy and personality that I honestly can’t imagine picking it up in print. Some books are just made to be listened to, and this was one of them. 

It had major Ella Enchanted (2004) vibes, humor, charm, and adventure, but told through a sapphic lens with a strong feminist heartbeat. I loved how it mixed modern things with the histrom setting, creating a world that felt fresh yet still a true histrom. The banter sparkled, the romance was swoony, and the feminist undercurrent made every plot choice feel intentional and satisfying. 

The sapphic romance wasn’t just a side element; it was central to the story in a way that felt organic, joyful, and affirming. I loved that the characters had agency, that their relationships were built on mutual respect and trust, and that the story never shied away from giving them both the happy ending they deserved. 

I finished the last chapter feeling completely full; like I’d been given the exact kind of storytelling I needed. This book reminded me why I love fantasy, romance, and audiobooks all at once, and it’s one I’ll be recommending for a long time.
